Coldplay X&Y New Release


I just accidentally caught Coldplay doing a small venue relase performance on MTV2 of their new Album X&Y. All I can say if the energy I just witnessed translates into the studio versions of this new material, we are all in for a treat!

Chris,
Don't get me wrong I believe a great tune with bad lyrics is still a great tune.
Great lyrics on their own without the music isn't much-the magic happens when they blend and ignite and it DOESN'T need to be profund.
I listen to a wider range of music, a fair bit of it instrumental.
I just feel if Coldplay are the rightful successors to the throne as they are so often heralded as then they should have the whole package. Chris Martin in lyrical terms just doesn't deliver.
I have the previous 2 coldplay albums, and I'm rather lukewarm about them, I guess like Ben. So is the latest offering about the same, or better ? Or should I wait for it to turn up in the sale/used racks like I wish I had for the previous 2 ?
They have been described as "music for bed-wetters"...I would have to agree...Gwen is pretty hot though....
"They have been described as "music for bed-wetters"..."

Perhaps that's why I'm lukewarm about them ?
